Name:
Joanne

Current position:
Chief Executive Officer.

Joanne has been working with people with disability for:
3 years.

What did Joanne do before she worked in disability?
"My original qualification is in Pharmacy. However, I have been involved in the health care sector for well over 12 years, working in acute hospital care, residential aged care and day hospital settings."

What does Joanne love about working in the disability sector?
"Being part of an organisation that works hard to find creative support solutions for people with disabilities is very rewarding. The sector is also changing its approach and becoming more professional, and that is exciting to be part of."

A moment when Joanne knew that she was making a real difference:
"Every time a family member says 'thanks', or a staff member celebrates a new achievement with one of the people we are fortunate enough to support – that provides me with evidence that we are making a difference on a daily basis."
